Hi,
First of all, thanks for your guy's help!
Now to the problem: My computer appears to have been infected by the fake anti-spyware program "Antivirus System Pro". This seems to be a bit more severe/modified compared to the others, as it neither allows me to run the task-manager, nor the command prompt to close it. The only way I was able to close the running program so far has been by starting the PC and opening the task-manager before the program was able to start.
Sadly, neither AVG, Spybot S&G or Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware have been able to find/destroy the program.
Additionally, none of the files which, according to most help sites, such as Bleeping Computer, should be present actually are. Even the "sysguard.exe" file, which supposedly runs the whole pest, is not present, it appears to have been renamed to "uvgsysguard.exe".

I appreciate your help!

Hello Schuultz, :welcome:

Please see this FAQ, "BEFORE you POST"(READ this Procedure BEFORE Requesting Assistance) (http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=288)

Then start a new thread and copy paste the HJT log into it.

If HJT won't run please start a new topic anyway, make note of the situation and a volunteer analyst will advise you when available.
